There are international agreements between the Government of Ukraine and the Governments of other foreign countries aimed at avoiding double taxation.
In order to apply international treaties of Ukraine on the avoidance of double taxation of natural persons of Ukraine, citizens who receive income outside of Ukraine must confirm their tax residency status in Ukraine.
To obtain the right to credit taxes and fees that were paid outside of Ukraine, the payer must obtain an appropriate certificate from the state body of the country where such income (profit) was received, and which has the authority to collect such tax. The certificate must contain information about the amount of tax and fee paid, as well as about its basis and/or object of taxation.
This certificate must be legalized by the consular institution of Ukraine in the relevant country, unless otherwise stipulated by international treaties of Ukraine.
